ICC (and hence all member countries of ICC) is a signatory of WADA regulations (World Anti-doping Agency). Asif was not found in possession of hashish at or around an ICC event, so it will be interesting to see what happens now. Asif deserves a fine or something to ensure that such stupidity is not repeated in future because it only brings embarrassment to the country
But as per cricinfo http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/current/story/355313.html
Dave Richardson, ICC’s acting chief executive, said that they had asked the PCB to keep them updated on the Asif issue. “As far as we know he has not been charged as yet,” Richardson said. “But since the ICC is a signatory of WADA regulations if he is charged then he is liable to penalties under WADA code of conduct.”
Since Asif has not been charged by Dubai authorities, ICC and WADA can probably do nothing now

Cricket: UAE to deport Pakistan paceman Asif
DUBAI, June 19 (AFP) - Pakistan paceman Mohammad Asif will soon be deported from the United Arab Emirates after Dubai Public prosecutors dropped drug possession charges against him, an official said Thursday. The 25-year-old fast bowler was seized at Dubai airport on June 1 on charges of possessing an illegal drug while returning home from India after featuring in a domestic tournament. “The case has been dropped against Mohammad Asif due to insignificance … he will be deported as soon as the police finalize the procedures,” Mohammad Al Nuaimi, the public prosecutor who handled Asif’s case, said Thursday, according to the online version of the local daily Gulf News. “It is definite that he committed the crime of smuggling and possessing 0.24 grams of opium as he was caught red-handed … however in certain cases and for a faster litigation process the public prosecution drops a case due to insignificance and deports the suspect.” Pakistan’s diplomatic sources in the UAE told AFP that the paceman will return home at the first available flight. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) claimed they do not know about the proceedings.
